BALLER MOVE: Add and Start Immediately in All Leagues
Owned in 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Gio Bernard is hurt, and fantasy owners should take advantage of the opportunity Jeremy Hill will be given in his absence. Chances are the Bengals will construct an early lead against the 1-7 Jaguars and run the ball for most of the second half, giving Hill a plethora of touches. In seven games, Hill has accumulated 195 yards on 50 carries, crossing the goal line three times. In Week 2, he carried the ball 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown, picking up 15.60 fantasy points in standard Yahoo! leagues. As the starting back against a poor Jacksonville defense, Hill immediately becomes a desirable fantasy option as a RB1. Owners in the 31% of Yahoo! leagues in which he remains unowned should jump on the chance to grab the rookie out of LSU while he owns the starting job.
